Hello everyone i am getting some new parts and i was wondering what u guys think my power gains to the wheels would be. I have 282 whp already and i am gettin AMS front mount AMS cat delete and the megan racing header. I am installing it all my self and going to AMS on the 25th to have it all tuned. What do u guys think the out come will be to the wheels??

 

295whp..maybe

 

Somewhere around 300 ~ 320?

 

yeah my car ran a 12.8 yesterday so yeah that shoud help me get a lil closer to them 11's

 

15-20whp gains maybe unless you're untuned currently, because then the tune will give additional gains on top of that 15-20. The FMIC won't really do anything, the test pipe will give around 10whp over the stock cat, and the MR header is prone to cracking and not as powerful, but more expensive than a stock ported/coated manifold.

 

Heh, closer as in lower than 12.8, but not CLOSE to 11s. For the money you're spending, you could have gained twice the power with cams/alky/tp, or cams/o2/stock p&c mani/licp/tp.

 

so ur sayin no on the header and invest in something else. Yeah i have be following the AMS stages and the intercooler is the last for stage 2 then its on to cams.

 

Cams are far more beneficial and useful and powerful than an FMIC. No idea why they put the FMIC first, but it is by no means needed and is a terrible $/HP mod. It isn't needed at all on the stock turbo, but it becomes useful after you have cams and alky running big boost daily on the stocker. Cams will give you 30whp/30wtq for $450 shipped. The FMIC will give you 0-15whp for $700...

The header is ok, but for less, you can get your stock manifold ported and coated, which will make more power, more torque, and it won't ever crack while maintaining the stock look/fitment/spacing in the engine bay (no more rust though!).

 

Do i go through buschur for the port and coat??

 

Yes.

 

I'm getting custom tuned tomorrow by AL. How much whp should i get with my setup? Don't want to jack this thread (just curious)!

 

350-370 is my guess on a dynojet. Maybe more with all your mods!

 

I'll be more than happy with 370 whp

 

damn i made 342 whp on a dynojet and all i got is a vishnu flash and a full TBE. i had an intake, maxford headers and invidia o2 housing but took it all off and i saw a 2 hp drop. not much of a gain that would have been if left on. sold em all except o2 housing. and ported coated OEM headers. all these parts arent always necessary.

 

HP does u no good in dreag racing. it's all about the launch & more importantly TORQUE!!!! u should be asking yourself what mods do u need to get to 400ft-lbs of TQ...
